After completing his military service, j-hope, like Jin, has been pushing for many musical activities to liven up the atmosphere of 2025 for ARMYs. One of the events that ARMYs are most looking forward to is his world tour.
It was thought that they could enjoy the loud screams under the dome, but it seems that fans are not satisfied with what HYBE did for j-hope's concert. From disappointment about the scale of the concert to the price of the tickets, HYBE is receiving backlash from fans.
Here's what's happening and how fans are reacting these days:
The most ѕнσ¢кing news in the past few hours that ARMYs cannot ignore is j-hope's attendance at Le Gala des Pièces Jaunes organized by the first lady of fяαи¢є, Brigitte Macron. The moment j-hope set the stage on fire with his two solo songs On The Street and More made fans feel like they were in his own concert.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, j-hope excited fans with the news that he would be holding his first solo world tour in his career. Hope on the Stage will start at the end of February and end in May. j-hope will visit 15 cities in Asia and Europe, bringing vibrant sounds under domes that ARMYs have not experienced for a long time.
Although the excitement of fans is increasing due to the fιgнт for tickets to his concert, there is inevitably a big criticism aimed at HYBE. Fans have noticed many problems in the management company's preparation for j-hope's concert, from the size of the concert venue to the ticket price. It becomes the hot topic ARMYs pay attention these days.
Specifically, since HYBE revealed the venues chosen for the concert, fans have pointed out that HYBE tends to choose arenas instead of stadiums. ARMYs are angry that HYBE is "underestimating" j-hope's popularity and influence by choosing venues with small capacity. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people have joined the queue just to wait to buy tickets to attend his concert. This also means that thousands of fans are мιѕѕιиg out on the chance to see their idol perform live.
This anger of fans has not yet subsided, on January 22, they started to discuss the ticket prices for each concert night announced by HYBE. Netizens quickly blasted HYBE for the unreal costs that, combined with dynamic pricing, meant many were over five times the price of the Seoul tickets. Many claimed it was unreal to have prices so high during a time when there was a cost of living crisis, with many sharing that prices exceeded $1000 for some tickets.
HYBE has been criticized for their flexible pricing and high costs, but it seems they haven’t learned from their mistakes and are continuing to do so. Fans expressed their frustration with the high prices while the scale of the concert was not worthy of j-hope’s great influence:
- okay but hybe is dumb as fυ¢к for booking arenas in the first place like y’all should’ve learned from the mots tour and from yoongi tour that the demand was gonna be high but y’all stoop down to arenas with a capacity of 19k for WHAT reason
- Almost 100K people in queue for 19k tickets for Hobi’s concert is absolutely insane… hybe really need to stop underestimating bts as soloists and give them stadiums
- I don't know why they have such small venues booked for the Boys Solo World Tour Internationally so far, I kinda understand up to a certain point in a few countries because of logistic reasons n them wanting more intimate setting but non of them should be under 20k/30k capacity
- jhope ticket prices are nearly ONE THOUSAND USD???? that is crazy why are they almost 5x the amount as the tickets for the seoul concert hybe you are HORRIBLE
- hybe. you had one job. book bigger venues and lower ticket prices. you’re 0/2 there.
- must I remind you that the boycott didnt stop?? that hybe is still working with scooter who is funding a genocide??? they sold VIP tickets for 200$ to korean fans and international fans got it for 2k, they dont care about you morons
- $613 isn't cute, it's a fυ¢кing rip off. Working clαѕѕ people, in this world, in the economy that is кιℓℓing people, aren't able to afford it. It's a fυ¢кing joke. Giving all your money to the zionist meet up that is hybe and they're laughing at you through 613.
- if they tried to sell kfans tickets at these prices they would have a guillotine inside hybe within the day
